Most come from low-income families and arrive at school each day excited to learn and ready to become the future leaders, scientists, artists, and thinkers of our community. Teaching in a dual‑language school means each day we celebrate two languages and cultures — English and Spanish — and work hard to make learning accessible and joyful for every child.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom we use blue to indicate English and red to indicate Spanish. Those simple color cues are essential: they help students quickly identify which language to use for instructions, activities, and materials. For many of our children who are still building proficiency in a second language, clear visual supports prevent confusion, reduce anxiety, and allow them to focus on learning. Without these color-coded visuals, students can become unsure about expectations and miss chances to practice language in meaningful contexts.\r\n\r\nThanks to your amazing donation, I am able to print in colors, and provide lots of visuals to all of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1758898805463,"projectUrl":"project/colorful-learning-materials/9736091/","projectTitle":"Colorful Learning Materials!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fioreilis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6987956_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728006875419","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/fioreilissuero"},{"teacherId":6987956,"projectId":9667054,"letterContent":"Thank you!\r\n\r\nTeachers Pay Teachers (TPT) has an incredible collection of fun, high-quality materials created by experienced educators.

The impact of your contributions has been immediate and profound. We are using our new resources daily, and the atmosphere in our reading corner has shifted from traditional and rigid to inviting and personalized. Instead of the old, hard chairs, students now have a variety of choices—from cozy floor cushions to ergonomic wobble stools. This flexibility has done more than just improve comfort; it has empowered my students to manage their own learning environments. Just last week, during our independent reading time, I watched a usually fidgety student, Alex, settle into a beanbag chair tucked away by the window. He was so deeply engrossed in his book that he didn't even look up when the bell rang for lunch. This moment, where choice led directly to engagement and deep focus, demonstrated that the simple act of choosing where to sit can be the catalyst for enjoying the world of books.\r\n\r\nThe day the materials arrived was truly magical. There were genuine gasps of excitement when we unpacked the colorful pillows and soft seating options. For them, it wasn't just new furniture; it felt like a significant, visible investment in their happiness and learning. The students immediately understood that this was a space created just for them, designed for comfort and dedicated to the joy of reading. I saw smiles, laughter, and a sense of ownership that had been missing before. They treated the materials with immediate respect, organizing the cushions and taking turns trying out the different seats. This moment solidified that you didn't just donate items—you donated a feeling: the feeling of being valued and supported in their intellectual journeys.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are currently diving into a passion project unit where students are researching and presenting on topics they care deeply about. The new flexible seating areas are proving to be invaluable collaboration and research stations. Small groups gather on the floor cushions to discuss primary sources, while students needing focus use the lap desks in the quiet corners to draft their papers. The next steps for this project involve refining their arguments and preparing for their oral presentations, which they will be conducting from their new favorite seats! Your contributions have created the perfect environment for us to continue building confidence, fostering curiosity, and ensuring that every child has a comfortable, inspiring space to enjoy and explore the world of books. Thank you again for being such integral partners in our classroom success.","fullyFundedDate":1669778622967,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-to-enjoy-the-world-of-b/6885027/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating to Enjoy the World of Books!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Taveras","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1187985_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1568595656229","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1187985"},{"teacherId":2774079,"projectId":9424043,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding our classroom easel.
